Chapter 25

Disclaimer: I don't own victorious

Tori's POV

Today is Sunday, and for some reason, Moose wanted to meet up with me tonight at KFC, he said he wanted to talk about 'us'.

What does 'us' means? It certainly didn't mean wedding bells, right?

Damn me for being clueless. It's my first relationship alright!

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I looked at my reflection at my mirror. My hair was a mess, seriously, all I needed are birds and my head will be a bird's nest. My clothes are wrinkled and I probably looks like I just walked out from a horror movie, without any blood stains on my shirt of course.

Deciding to take a long, relaxing shower before I go, I pulled some washcloth and removed all the clothing (please do not place this in your mind, sincerely, Tori) and covered myself with a white towel. I entered the bathroom and opened the shower. I put the washcloth in one of the stools and enjoyed my time in my shower.

When I was done, I wrapped the washcloth on my body. I went out of the bathroom and went through my dresser. I dressed myself in a nice red tee and skinny jeans and paired it with my brown boots.

Combing my hair, I decided to let it fall into my natural curls. I put on some lip gloss and sprayed myself with a minimal amount of cologne. After one last glance on the mirror, I was ready.

I grabbed my purse and headed through my door, making sure no appliances are plug that may cause any hazards. I sprinted towards the stairs and saw my mom whipping up some dinner, for the Vega's and Oliver's and dad was busy reading some magazine. I cleared my throat, causing them both to look at my direction.

My dad's eyes traveled from my face, and then through my body. Are you supposed to be creep out when your dad is checking you out? But seeing he wasn't giving me looks of lust, instead he was giving me a look of curiosity. "Why are you dress?" He said, more like ordered me to answer him.

"Mom, dad I won't be able to join dinner. I'm going to meet up with Moose tonight." I said to them, my mom squealed and my dad nodded.

"Good look honey." My mom said as she removed the extra plate on the dining table. I nodded before running through the door, but I didn't mishear that she yelled. "Use protection."

My cheeks probably turned red.

Moose told me to meet up with him at 7, but seeing I was 5 minutes early, I thought he wasn't here yet, but I was wrong when I saw him on the corner of the KFC, far away from everyone.

"Hey" I went to Moose's table and sat across me. He smiled at me timidly, he was fidgeting in fingers, as if he was nervous about something. He let out a sigh and opened his mouth, no words escaped from his mouth, he closes it. He sighs once more, opens his mouth, no words came out, and he closes it again. Same process was repeated several times.

"Are you okay?" I asked him, seeing his disgruntled face. He sighed again and opens his mouth, before he could close it again. "Spill it out!" I ordered, causing a few heads to turn into our direction, they gave me weird looks and I gave a weird look on my own.

He placed his hands on his hair, running his fingers on his dishelmed hair, making it messier. "I think we need to break up."

I didn't know what to say. Am I going to scream? My heart didn't shatter like I thought it would, probably because I have no feelings for him. After a few seconds of silence, I decided to speak up. "Why?" My voice was steady and calm. Moose seems taken aback but regain his composition in a matter of milliseconds.

"It's not you, it's me." Moose replied and I narrowed my eyes. I heard that a couple of times! Couldn't he give me a better explanation? Seeing my face, he continued. "It's just because I know I'm not the right person for you."

He wasn't telling me something, but I let it pass.

"I think you like someone but you're too dense to admit it."

Do I like someone?

"Who? And why do you think so?"

"I think you like Beck, well everyone does." He admitted while I gaped at him. Everyone thinks I have some romantic feelings for Beck? "I think Beck likes you too, but he couldn't be with you because I'm in the picture."

"Beck and I are friends, I'm sure we don't have any feelings for each other." I don't know but when I said this, my heart ached, and some part of me hoped that the thing Moose is saying is somehow true.

"Really Tori?" He said with a mocking tone. "Everyone sees how Beck looks at you, and you look at him in the same way. When you both made up, I'm sure Beck enjoyed your presence in his arms. When you are with Beck, it seems you are the happiest person alive, and so is Beck."

I kept silent because some part of me wanted this to come true.

"I saw you were so happy with Beck, and that happiness is not what I can give to you." He whispered the latter part. "I'm going back to Canada tomorrow, and I hope that when I left, you will make a relationship with Beck."

As I processed the things he was saying to me, he was right. I did feel something whenever I was with Beck. I love the comfort of his hugs, the simple things he is doing to be my best friend again.

Could it really be true? Am I falling for Beck?

"Good bye Tori." He stood up and gave me one last hug, the hug was nothing to the hugs Beck gave me. "I loved you, and take care." He gave me a smile, a sad smile and wave one last goodbye.

When he was gone, I whispered to thin air. "Thank you Moose for letting me realize my feelings."

Beck's POV

I was excited when I was walking to the Vega's household, but my excitement was killed when aunt Holly told me that Tori wasn't home, instead she was at KFC with Moose.

My heart ached, thinking about the possibilities of what they are doing. Eating? Laughing? Kissing? A pang of sadness rushed through me as I imagined the latter part.

I ate dinner in complete silence. I didn't utter a word, only when I was spoken too. I also nodded numerous times, but beside that, I kept quiet. When dinner was done, I politely excused myself and headed to the garden where Tori and I use to play when we are kids.

Sitting on the swing, I felt my phone vibrated. I took my phone from my pocket and I saw Tori's name flashing on the screen. I immediately pressed answer and put the phone in my ear.

"Hello" I spoke, only to receive a sneeze in return.

"Pick me up at the park." Her voice was muffled and hushed. I didn't bother asking what's wrong. I simply said 'okay' and took my keys.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Reaching the park, I saw Tori seating in one of the bench, she appears to be in deep thought and she was in a trance. I made my way to her and sat beside her. She noticed my presence and gave me a smile. Trails of tears where visible in her beautiful face and I couldn't help but wonder.

"What's wrong?" I asked, concern lifting from my tone. She closed the distance between us and engulfed me with a hug. I hug her back, feeling complete with her in my arms. She continues to sob and I rubbed her back soothingly. "Don't cry"

"Moose broke up with me." She answered with a small sneeze that I find cute.

Hearing her words, I couldn't help but feel happy and annoyed at the same time. Happy because he is finally out of the picture and I could woo Tori through my love, annoyed because he have the guts to break her heart, which I didn't find very entertaining at all. If I ever saw him, I'll be breaking every bone in his body.

"You really love him to cry for him." I whispered, ignoring the pang of sadness in my heart.

"No" She replied calmly. "I cried because I just realized that the person I love won't love me back." She whispered and continues to sneeze.

Tori love someone? There is a bigger competition than Moose?

Tori's POV

After my conversation with Moose, I went to the park. I like the park, how the breeze calms me and how the scenery comforts me. Noticing I was alone, I sat on the bench.

I couldn't help but think about the things Moose said. Maybe, just maybe, I like Beck. But will he reciprocate those feelings I have for him? Probably not, sure we are friends now but that doesn't mean we can work out as a couple right?

After thinking of the possibilities that Beck has some sort of feelings for me, I came up with nothing. Maybe he likes me as a friend, not a girlfriend. There are other pretty girls that Beck will like and I am not in the list of those.

After accepting the cold harsh reality that the chance of Beck reciprocating all my feelings for him, I let the tears fall. I cried, thinking how hard it is to enter the friend zone. I cried, thinking how pathetic I am to fall for my best friend.

Did I like Beck before? Is that the reason why I didn't feel anything every time I'm with Moose?

Thinking I had enough, I whipped my phone to call Beck. On the first ring, he answered immediately.

"Hello" He spoke, only to receive a sneeze in return.

"Pick me up at the park." My voice was muffled and hushed. He just said okay before he hung up.

A few minutes have passed before I saw a familiar silver Lamborghini, Beck's car. He spotted me and approached me. He sat beside me and he was looking at me with concern in his eyes.

Because I am his friend

"What's wrong?" He asked, concern lifting from his tone. I closed the distance between us and I hugged him. Sparks shot through my body but I didn't pay any attention. Right now, I feel happy to be in his arms. It was only a matter of seconds before I hear him speak again. "Don't cry"

"Moose broke up with me." I replied with a sneeze.

"You really love him to cry for him." He whispered, looking at my tear strained face and to think I believe to see pain in his eyes.

"No" I replied calmly. "I cried because I just realized that the person I love won't love me back." I blink the tears threatening to fall. I noticed him stiffen. "Please take me home."

I think being close with Beck isn't helping me, I think I'm just falling harder for him.

AN.
